Shi Haoyu was clearly worried, though Lin Chen remained calm and said nothing.

He didn't think Shi Haoyu's suspicions were wrong, after all, the man was the Guard Commander whose duty it was to protect the Palace lord. Wasn't it only right for him to be suspicious and vigilant?

The Palace lord waved a hand, "Everyone, go ahead, don't bother."

After speaking, the Palace lord stepped forward and walked directly into the Light Door, vanishing from sight.

Shi Haoyu glanced at Lin Chen next to him with a complex look in his eyes, then he quickly followed, entering the Light Door.

Soon, everyone had entered the Light Door, entering the Qiqiao Hall, and in the midst of the wilderness, only Lin Chen was left.

Lin Chen closed the Light Door and put away the Qiqiao Hall.

Lin Chen closed his eyes, extending his senses, and in the dark expanse of space within his mind, a Light Point shone like a twinkling star, flickering on and off.

The next second, Lin Chen vanished from the spot.

In the stationed location of the Giant Bear Corps, the Palace lord's guards were hiding in a secluded place, holding a Star Token in hand, injecting spiritual power to activate the Star Mark.

Silent and Traceless, Lin Chen's figure flashed out of thin air.

The guard was startled but upon recognizing it was Lin Chen, he relaxed, his face showing a look of awe.

The distance from here to the main faction of the Palace lord was vast, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had arrived!

How impressive was that!

Lin Chen asked a few simple questions to understand the current situation, then opened the Light Door and allowed everyone to leave the Qiqiao Hall.

Everyone had just followed orders to enter the Qiqiao Hall, and some hadn't even found a comfortable spot to sit when they were informed they'd reached their destination, causing a collective shock.

Was Lin Chen's method not terrifying? To cover such a distance in an instant, even the Palace lord relied on his abilities. Within the Great Wilderness Palace, who could compare with him?

What's more, given the Palace lord's trust in him, it was likely that Lin Chen would become a new power within the Great Wilderness Palace, holding a high position and wielding great influence.

The Palace lord himself felt it was quite mysterious, too fast.

"Who is that White Jade Statue inside?"

Lin Chen didn't conceal the truth, "Immortal Realm, Jade Star Lord, a Quasi-Saint. There's a rumor that he's a junior disciple of an Immortal Emperor who hasn't officially taken him in. But the truth of that matter is unknown."

The Palace lord squinted his eyes slightly, "And you with him?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I made his acquaintance through a chance encounter. The opportunity has gone to Zi Feng, my disciple, and the Qiqiao Hall has come into my possession. Before the Immortal Demon War, I met with the senior again at the War God Mansion. He took quite a liking to me, yes, just like that."

The Palace lord said softly, "You seem to know quite a few Big Shots."

Lin Chen spread his hands, "With the Immortal Demon Channel separating us, I could never transfer reinforcements even if I had them. In the end, I must rely on myself!"

The Palace lord looked deeply at Lin Chen and said nothing more.

Lin Chen appeared to be a minor Immortal who had emerged from a poor background without any connections. Yet, he had been appreciated and valued by many prominent figures of the Immortal Realm.

True Person Tai Xu, Jade Star Lord, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch...

If Lin Chen hadn't fallen into the Demon World, even with slightly lesser strength in the Immortal Realm, he probably would have had little trouble asserting himself.

With such connections, who would dare provoke him?

That would be simply seeking death, wouldn't it?

Now this fellow had arrived in the Demon World, without the care of those prominent figures, and yet he still thrived, gathering around him two Quasi-Saints, and reaching the level of Upper Grade Daluo Immortal himself, not to mention the powerful Dawn Camp.

Without exaggeration, as long as he didn't encounter a Saint, even in the Demon World, Lin Chen could be a force to be reckoned with, with no one daring to provoke him lightly.

With complex thoughts, the Palace lord led everyone toward the Giant Bear Army.

Zhao Ru Hai was worried.

The incident with the Blood Demon Palace had caused his Giant Bear Army to lose face; when his army had moved in, the Blood Demon Palace was already empty, and they had utterly wasted their efforts.

Now, as they advanced on five fronts, it was his Giant Bear Army again that met a roadblock they couldn't clear, forced to call for help—and from the Dawn Camp no less, the group they'd had a conflict with before.

Receiving the report that the Palace lord had arrived, Zhao Ru Hai was shocked.

How long had it been since they sent out the call for help, and they were already here?

How did they manage that?

Spatial Jump?

Zhao Ru Hai hurriedly led his men to welcome them but had just stepped out when he saw the Palace lord with long strides coming quickly, followed by Lin Chen and Shi Haoyu, with the neat formation of the Dawn Camp and the guard team further behind.

"Palace lord!"

The Palace lord gestured with his hand and strode forth, before sitting down in the central chair of the tent.

"Let's hear it, what's going on?"

Zhao Ru Hai respectfully answered, "The Domain Gate connects to the Blood Wind Demon Domain, and to secure the retreat of all the forces that swear fealty to the Demon God Temple, a squad of elite Troops and several Quasi-Saints have been left behind."

"When we arrived, we began the attack, but though they are few in number, they are all top Powerhouses, several Quasi-Saints among them. We have been unable to take them down."

The Palace lord asked in a deep voice, "Why are they lingering and not leaving? What do they want?"

Zhao Ru Hai's face showed difficulty, "I asked them, but they wouldn't answer me, only saying that if we insist on forcefully occupying the Domain Gate, they would destroy everything here, leaving us with nothing…"
